Ever since I’ve been little, I’ve never really paid attention to insects. In my house I would encounter the occasional daddy-long legs spider or see a cockroach creeping across the floor and get the urge to kill it. I’d think, “No, you nasty spider! This is my domain!” and pick up a Kleenex and dispose [...]

Top 10 Favorite Artists of 2010
Over the year of 2010, my interest in music has increased tenfold. I had first received an iPod at the beginning of the year, knowing close to nothing about where my music interest laid. Pop? Rock?

A Marvelous Adventure of Hide and Seek
(March 24th, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, It was deafeningly bloodcurdling having to put myself through Richard’s conversations with the white men in Black Boy.

Reading
(March 23rd, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, Wild, exotic, adventurous, and vastly descriptive. I’ve caught myself in a pretty captivating adventure book called The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear. It had stood out to me greatly at Borders and I wanted to give an adventure story a shot, since this genre is completely unfamiliar with [...]
